    Just back from Story Time 3!

    I forgot to add that the owner did call us the evening we arrived to make sure everything was as it should be.

    Just back from Story Time 3!

    We didn't go to the playground, but I'm assuming it's close to the clubhouse. We were a very short walk to the clubhouse. I'd say 2-3 minutes. We went to the clubhouse pool twice and my boys loved the water slide. We also used the splash pool twice and my boys enjoyed it too. There was...

    Just back from Story Time 3!

    The pillows are not very fluffy. There were extra pillows in the master bedroom closet and my DH used two of them together and that solved the problem. I'm a stomach sleeper and don't use a pillow, so it didn't bother me. The master bedroom king size bed is very firm. The other beds in the...

    Just back from Story Time 3!

    We had the most relaxing trip ever, but at the same time were able to do everything we wanted. The Story Time 3 townhome was great! It's just as it looks in pictures and we had absolutely no problems with Villa Direct. Our lock on a back sliding glass door was broken and as soon as we...

    Story Time Condo in Windsor Hills

    I will definitley post a review when we return. I'm a little nervous, because of all the talk of Villa Direct being a horrible MC. I booked Storytime 3 eight months ago before I knew I needed to check out the MC before booking a home.

    How crowded are the offsite restaurants?

    We have stayed onsite our last two trips and never ventured off WDW property. This trip we are staying in a Windsor Hills townhouse and hoping for a more relaxing trip. We are also planning on eating most of our meals offsite because we've never had a memorable meal at WDW and our boys are...

    Storytime Orlando Townhomes...

    We are staying in Story Time 3 May 29th - June 5th. I'll be sure to post a review when we return. We aren't worried. We've read many more good things than bad about the Story Time Rentals and are looking forward to our vacation.

    Disney Quest or Sea World?

    I feel Disney Quest is overrated. My boys liked it okay, but we won't waste our time there this time. I'd go to Sea World anytime over Disney Quest. We've been to the one in San Antonio many times. We never get tired of it!

    What week in May do your kids get out of school for summer?

    We get out on May 24th. Teachers still have to work on the 25th. So, we planned our trip to start on the 29th. We've never been during this busy of a time. We've always been during the Fall season because I wasn't working back then. Next year our schools do not start until the last week...

    Most over-hyped things on dis...

    Comparision: Easter Week and Late Sept/early Oct

    I haven't been during April, but I have been the last week in September and it was great! We rarely had to use Fastpass and the longest wait we had was at Test Track and that was because it broke down while we were waiting in line making our wait about 25 minutes. Everything else was 15...

    Who's going in May?

    We are staying offsite at a Windsor Hills Townhome. It's our first trip during a busier time.

    What makes you choose a Vacation Home?

    We are first time renters but this was our list: 1) Location (I only looked at Windsor Hills) 2) High End Furniture, Decor, and Bedding. Our own home is very nicely decorated, so we expect the same in a vacation rental & are willing to pay for it. (It's still much less than staying on-site)...

    Taking children out of school

    Because of this strict policy, my SIL and BIL only take their vacations during school breaks. They don't like the policy, but they do follow it. We are all going to WDW together the week after school gets out! It's really gives the kids something to look forward to during these last 14...

    Taking children out of school

    I'm a parent who is also an elementary teacher and I now see it from both sides. In 2001 and 2003 when I was still a SAHM I took my boys out of school for a week to go to WDW. Both times the teachers were very gracious and wished us a fabulous trip. Both of our trips were in the Fall and my...

    Anyone have experience with Storytime Orlando Rentals @ Windsor Hills?

    We are booked to stay at Story Time 3 for our May/June vacation. I've seen a couple of other people here on the boards that have stayed in one of their rentals and had a good experience. I really don't think there is any reason to worry with these particular homes.

    Storytime townhouse @ windsor hills?

    We have Story Time 3 booked for May 29 - June 5. I booked with them back in September. They responded fairly promptly. Within several hours of my first email, they sent a quote. Then once I decided to book and sent the booking form from their website, I had a confirmation email the next...

    Windsor Hills

    Thank you so much for posting! I've been so nervous about this vacation and whether or not we were wasting our money. We booked it on a whim when airfare dropped to $123 round trip. We couldn't pass it up, but we also can't afford to stay on-site anymore. So, I started looking at Windsor...
